Vision solutions on show

1 Jul 2014

STEMMER IMAGING will be highlighting its extensive range of vision solutions
for the processing and packaging industries at the PPMA Show. There will be
demonstrations of portion control, high speed label inspection and the
inspection of fill levels in opaque bottles.

Stand A20, PPMA Show, NEC, UK, 30 September – 2 October, 2014

3D vision allows volumetric measurements to be made, making it an ideal tool
for portion control in the food processing industry. On show will be the LMI
Gocator 3D smart camera carrying out 3D profiling on blocks of cheese with the
resulting volumetric measurements used to control the position of the cutting
knife for slicing.

High-speed label inspection is an integral tool for the packaging industry.
This will be illustrated using a high resolution line scan camera to acquire
images from objects moving at high speed for bar code reading, lot code
reading and logo positioning.

Fill level determination of liquids in opaque bottles requires the use of
cameras sensitive to near infrared radiation, allowing them to ‘see through’
the bottle. This will be demonstrated using one of the latest NIR cameras,
which can also check the correct alignment of the cap on the bottle.

LMI Technologies is changing the 3D measurement experience in factory automation. By developing all-in-one 3D smart sensors that are easy to use yet flexible, this technology is making part inspection and 100 % quality control simpler to accomplish around the world.

STEMMER IMAGING has been one of the leaders in the machine vision market since 1987. It is one of Europe's largest technology providers in this field. In 1997 STEMMER IMAGING presented Common Vision Blox (CVB), a powerful programming library for fast and reliable development and implementation of vision solutions, which has been deployed successfully throughout the world in more than 40,000 imaging applications in various industries.
